Description of suggested change: Render name of bha as Bhariati matching the Wikipedia atticle title Bhariati

Completed. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 20:13, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Paine Ellsworth: At this edit, you duplicated the language name in both the bha override and in the associated comment. I corrected that with this edit so that the comment lists the language name as specified by the ISO 639 custodian and by the IANA language-subtag-registry file and so that the override entry is more-or-less consistent with other override entries. Please restore my edit.

Also, and I know we've talked about this before, don't forget to update the language categorization when making these kinds of changes to the module.

Description of suggested change: Ripuarian language is listed as:

["mis-x-ripuar"] = "Ripuarian", -- replaces improper use of ksh in wp_languages

but Ripuarian is not a language isolate. It is a West Germanic language as

["gmw-x-ecg"] = "East Central German".

The family code should be used as a fallback.

Diff:

Error (talk) 19:29, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps. The ISO 639-3 custodian has left Ripuarian as an uncoded language so mis (Uncoded languages) is not an appropriate language tag. We use mis in the Ripuarian language article infobox. mis-x-ripuar was the result of a discussion (such as it was) at Talk:Ripuarian language § language naming inconsistencies.

gmw-x-ecg was added as a tweak of the malformed Wiktionary tag gmw-ecg (malformed because ecg is not an IANA registered extlang).

Has there been any discussion about mis-x-ripuar? Probably not. Apparently, mis-x-ripuar only appears in a handful of pages. Do we need to keep it?

—Trappist the monk (talk) 23:16, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is uncoded itself, but we know one of the umbrella groupings has a code gmw. So, labelling everything in Ripuarian as gmw is valid and more specific than mis. Just as there is no code for Proto-Indo-European but labelling everything in PIE as ine is valid and more specific than mis, and Lang/data has ine-x-proto for the specific Proto-Indo-European.

All of this, of course, if the private code is going to be used. If not, it is better deleted.

That's the question, isn't it? Except for your recent edit, mis-x-ripuar is not in use in mainspace. So: [is] the private code is going to be used?
